Default Side-by-side 8-second Corvettes...Z06 wins

We had our first Pro 8 Shootout on March 18 which is a heads-up drag race series.

In this very exciting final, Paul Ziajski, black 346 cubic inch twin turbo was up against Angelo Valla in the 1972 big block nitrous fed motor. If you watch the boards, the C3 was quicker but lost due to the Z getting out on him at the tree. Great video.

the reason you could not get it to work is the same as why it does not work for me. It is something with firefox. I use firefox exclusively and everytime I use one of my links for the first time in firefox, it does not open. If I view the same link in ms ielorerer, it works then then every other link in firefox works from there. not sure what it is but since firefox users are the minority, I have not dug deep into it.

The Z had a good 3/4 of a car length on him at the start. Must have been a good reaction time.

All I can say is Driving a car with that kind of power must be a tremendous adrenaline rush! Wish my car was that fast
